Ever heard of him? If not, it is my humble opinion that you should. His latest release Something To Say speaks to me, sometime as if I had written the songs myself. I may have to upload one of those annoying music players to the blog to bug you with his stuff! One little snippet (is that even a word?)....this song made me cry (& that's saying a lot):

"Stop The World"

The TV is talkingThe telephone’s ringingThe lights are all onAnd the radio’s screamingA million distractions are stealing my heart from YouI’m tired and emptyThis life is relentlessIt weakens my kneesAnd breaks my defensesIt’s wearing me down and I’m desperate to hear from You

Stop the world I wanna get outI need an escape away from this crowdJust to hear You speak to me
